Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Allied troops killed many inmates of the Nazi death camps by feeding them solid food upon liberation.
The military doctors found that recovery was a slow process once the entire fat reserve of the body was gone, if they recovered at all.
When you have been deprived of solid food for any length of time your system must adjust slowly to whole foods. And if your brain has been depleated (brain is 80% fat cells) it can not send proper messages to the digestive system.
There is a great deal of information on these factors if you do research on anorexia.
There is a whole body of work that does not require our blind speculation.

RE: How to starve in style.....kind of
I have voluntarily fasted before, the longest 3 days. I had a really bad headache the first day, then felt alright. I was not doing any strenuous activity either. Fasting, in my opinion, does help cleanse the body. I also found it strangely liberating to exercise the will power of the mind controlling the stomach's desire for food. Wouldn't want to go past 3 days though.

RE: How to starve in style.....kind of
Fasting is a great way to help recovery from some illnesses, and really does cleanse the body. But, for 40 days in stressful conditions? You'd have to be out of your mind, well, you might be! You'd be as weak as hell, probably hallucinating, and if the weather was hot, you might be on the way out as well. No use to anyone.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

I totally agree.
I'm not recommending starving yourself. I'm just trying to show that there is a much larger capability of the human body to exist without food than most people are speculating.
Let's say that the food runs out post SHTF. We all have food reserves, but we also have a good month of 'hungered' survival left with which to find food, plant fast growing crops, and stuff like that. Watercress grows fast, and although it's not a super high calorie food, it could provide the final pump of nutrition to get you through until those kidney beans start to show pods, and those peas bud up.
